Definitions

  • Provisional Application No. 62/820,570 filed March 19, 2019, entitled“Prosthetic Cardiac Valve Delivery Devices, Systems, and Methods”
  • Blood flow between and out of heart chambers is regulated by native valves - the mitral valve, the aortic valve, the pulmonary valve, and the tricuspid valve.
  • Each of these valves are passive one-way valves which open and close in response to differential pressures.
  • Patients with valvular disease have abnormal anatomy and/or function of at least one valve.
  • a valve may suffer from insufficiency, also referred to as regurgitation, when the valve does not fully close and allows blood to flow retrograde.
  • Valve stenosis can cause a valve to fail to open properly.
  • Other diseases may also lead to dysfunction of the valves.
  • While medications may be used to treat the disease, in many cases the defective valve may need to be repaired or replaced at some point during the patient’s lifetime.
  • the heart 2 includes four chambers connected by four valves.
  • the upper part of the heart 2 includes the left atrium 25 and right atrium 5.
  • the lower part includes the left ventricle 26 and right ventricle 6.
  • the heart 2 and cardiovascular system operates like a closed circuit.
  • the right side of the heart 2 receives de-oxygenated blood from the body and delivers the blood through the pulmonary artery 7 to the lungs where it becomes re- oxygenated.
  • the oxygenated blood is returned to the left side of the heart 2, referred to as the systemic side, which delivers the oxygenated blood throughout the body.
  • Heart chambers Blood flow between the heart chambers is regulated by the valves.
  • the mitral valve 4 is located between the left atrium 25 and the left ventricle 26 and the aortic valve 9 is located between the left ventricle 26 and the aorta 1.
  • the pulmonary valve 3 is located between the right ventricle 6 and the pulmonary artery 7 and the tricuspid valve 8 is located between the right ventricle 6 and the right atrium 5.
  • All four of heart valves are passive one-way valves with“leaflets” which open and close in response to differential pressures.
  • the left ventricle 26 contracts and pushes blood out the aortic valve 9.
  • the pressure in the left ventricle 26 causes the mitral valve 4 to close thereby preventing blood from going back into the left atrium 25 during systole.
  • Congenital heart disease is also a significant problem. Patients with valvular disease have abnormal anatomy and/or function of at least one valve. Congenital valve abnormalities may be tolerated and/or treated palliatively for some years before developing into a life-threatening problem in later years. However, congenital heart disease may present life-threatening risk without notice.
  • Patients may acquire valvular disease from rheumatic fever, heart failure, degenerative leaflet tissue, bacterial infection, and more.
  • FIG. 3 shows a healthy mitral valve 4.
  • FIGS. 4 to 5 show a diseased mitral valve 4.
  • the valve 4 in FIG. 4 suffers from insufficiency, also referred to as regurgitation.
  • Such a valve 4 does not fully close and allows blood to flow retrograde. In this case, blood will flow back into the left atrium 25 during systole.
  • FIG. 5 shows a mitral valve 4 with stenosis.
  • Such a valve 4 does not open properly.
  • Some valves 4 can have concomitant insufficiency and stenosis.
  • Other diseases may also be present, such as Barlow’s disease, which prevent the valve 4 from functioning properly. These diseases reduce cardiac output and force the heart 2 to work harder, thus increasing the risk of heart failure and chordae failures.
  • While medications may be used to treat the disease, in many cases the defective valve may need to be repaired or replaced at some point during the patient’s lifetime.
  • the native valve can be replaced with a mechanical valve or tissue valve.
  • Mechanical valves have a disc or other member which opens and closes. Although mechanical valves are formed of biocompatible materials, they carry an increased risk of clotting. Thus, patients usually need to take
  • Tissue valves can be formed of human or animal tissue, as well as polymeric materials. Tissue valves, unlike mechanical valves, do not typically require long-term use of anti-coagulants, but because they are formed of a living tissue they are not as widely available nor do they last as long as mechanical valves. Common tissue valves include porcine aortic valves mounted within a stent like structure.
  • the mitral valve anatomy presents more complexities to transcatheter procedures than the aortic valve.
  • the mitral valve 4 includes two asymmetrical leaflets 4a, 4b and an irregularly-shaped annulus 4c.
  • the mitral valve 4 also varies far more considerably patient-to-patient than the aortic valve. For these and other reasons, surgical replacement and percutaneous repair thus far are the only widely- available commercial treatments for mitral valve disease.
  • the present disclosure relates generally to treatment of heart disease, and more particularly, implantable valve prostheses and treatments for heart valve diseases.
  • the present disclosure generally relates to treating a diseased native valve in a patient and more particularly relates to prosthetic heart valves.
